ONE THING STUDY

​The One Thing Study is a simple and powerful way to read the Bible. It has three parts. Together they spell the word O.N.E.

O = Observe. 

​Read at least a passage of Scripture—the Bible divides into books, chapters, passages, and verses. Passages are marked with headings and usually contain one or more paragraphs. A passage is the basic unit of thought in the Bible. 

N = Note.

​Mark the One Thing that speaks to your heart the most. It may be a word, phrase, or sentence. Underline it, highlight it, or circle it. Whatever you do, make sure you mark it. Marking your one thing allows for easy access for personal reflection or when sharing with others. 

E = Express.

Talk to God about what He just spoke to you about. Allow God to use Scripture to encourage, revive, bring joy, equip, teach, guide, make wise, warn, or correct. Your One Thing may be a fact to learn, a truth to embrace, a promise to trust, or a directive to obey. It may prompt praise, thanksgiving or confession. It may call for continued obedience or repentance. Remember the goal is worship. The intended outcome is a reverent love for the LORD. The result is a spiritual truth that renews your mind throughout the day. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 19:7-14.
More helpful information about one thing study
The One Thing Study is powerful. Don't confuse simple with shallow. The One Thing Study is life-changing because it connects the reader to the exact words that God wants him/her to know. Devotionals may be helpful, but at best, they consist of words selected by someone else. The One Thing study consists of the exact words chosen by the Holy Spirit. Meditating on that throughout the day, over time, is transforming.
 
​The One Thing Study is essential. Disciple-making is vertical before it's horizontal— worship precedes witness. What we experience with God personally determines what we express about God publically. 
 
The One Thing Study is a priority. It's the first tool to teach a new disciple. Remember the saying, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for life?" Teaching someone how to do a One Thing Study is like teaching them to fish; it's feeding them for life.

The One Thing Study is practical. Pray your One Thing over your family, other people, and issues of the day. 
 
The One Thing Study is revealing. Listening to someone share their One Thing Study is like putting a spiritual stethoscope against their heart. It displays the true nature of their relationship with God. ​
